Patent EP-1286078-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FORREST JAMES L
IPC: F16H48/30
Filed: 2002-06-19
Abstract: A differential assembly (20) including a rotatable casing (22) having an axis of
rotation (23), a selectively energized electromagnet (44) proximal the casing, and a rotatable
first clutch (54) disposed within the casing, the first clutch placed in operative engagement
with the casing in response to the electromagnet being energized. Relative rotation between
the first clutch and the casing is slowed by their being in operative engagement. A rotatable
clutch hub (70) and a second clutch (76, 78) are disposed within the casing, and the casing
and the clutch hub are rotatably coupled through engagement of the second clutch, which is
operatively engaged in response to relative rotation between the first clutch and the casing
being slowed. At least one rotatable pinion gear (106) is disposed within the casing and
revolves about the axis of rotation. At least one side gear (94, 96) engaged with the pinion
gear and rotatable about the axis of rotation is disposed within the casing, and is rotatably
coupled to the casing through the second clutch during engagement of the second clutch.
Neither of the first clutch and the second clutch is appreciably engaged with the casing in
response to gear separating forces exerted between the pinion gear and the side gear.

Abstract: Selon la présente invention, un biocapteur optique porte au moins une légende d'affinité ou un élément de liaison qui se lie spécifiquement à un marqueur sous surveillance. La lumière dirigée le long de fibres optiques éclaire une surface de sonde à résonance plasmonique de surface ('SPRN') sur laquelle est immobilisé l'élément de liaison. Un spectrophotomètre reçoit la lumière réfléchie le long du trajet de fibre optique et fournit des informations de longueur d'onde indiquant l'absence ou la présence de résonance plasmonique de surface indicatrice du marqueur de liaison par SPR classique. La sonde est utilisée in vitro ou in vivo. Lorsqu'elle est utilisée in vivo le trajet lumineux de fibre optique comprend un cathéter qui dirige la sonde vers un site d'implant. Pour l'implantation in vivo un logement reçoit la sonde sur le site d'implant et est conçu pour filtrer des particules plus importantes qui affecteraient l'analyse spectrale. Selon un mode de réalisation, la sonde possède deux zones sur sa surface. Aucun élément de liaison n'est immobilisé sur la première zone. L'élément de liaison est immobilisé sur la seconde zone. On peut comparer la lumière renvoyée à partir des première et seconde zones. La présence ou l'absence d'un marqueur lié par l'élément de liaison sur la seconde surface est apparente dans la similarité ou la dissimilarité des informations spectrales renvoyées à partir des deux zones. La sonde peut surveiller le sang, le liquide spinal, la muqueuse, un tissu blessé, des organes implantés, l'urine et d'autres substances pour détecter la présence d'un marqueur qui peut indiquer un état pathologique chez un animal ou chez un sujet humain.

Inventor: DEN BESTEN GERRIT W
IPC: H03K3/012
Filed: 2002-07-25
Abstract: An electronic circuit comprising an amplifier (AMP) for amplifying a binary input signal (Ui) including an input stage coupled to receive the binary input signal (Ui) comprising means for supplying a DC current to the input stage. Said means supplies a current having a first (I1) current value to the input stage during a period of time that is approximately equal to the period of time corresponding to a transition phase from a first binary signal value to a second binary signal value. During the remaining time, said means supplies a current having a second (I2) current value which is smaller than the first (I1) current value. By virtue thereof, the electronic circuit only consumes a significant amount of power during a transition phase from the first binary signal value to the second binary signal value. The amplifier (AMP) can be implemented in all kinds of digital circuits, of which the digital voltage range (the difference between the second and the first binary values) must be increased. For example, in oscillators that supply many clock phases, a substantial saving in power can be obtained by applying said amplifier (AMP) instead of prior-art amplifiers.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système de translation, et un élément réseau destinés à modifier une entité de commande de ressources radio serveur. Après un état de fonctionnement initial dans lequel un équipement utilisateur (30) comporte des liens radio avec un élément réseau serveur (20), et un élément réseau de dérive (21) supporte ledit élément réseau serveur (20) avec une connexion sans fil, l'élément réseau serveur (20) transmet une information spécifique à la translation à un élément réseau cible (22). Sur la base de cette information, l'élément réseau cible (22) établit un lien vers l'élément réseau de dérive (21) de manière que celui-ci puisse recevoir le trafic utilisateur en provenance de l'élément réseau serveur (20) et de l'élément réseau cible (20). Ensuite, la commande de ressources radio est translatée vers l'élément réseau cible (20). L'information spécifique à la translation peut comporter un identifiant ou une liste d'identifiants d'éléments réseau de dérive. Ainsi, des procédés de transfert logiciel peuvent être améliorés par maintien d'une connexion de plan utilisateur au moyen d'éléments réseau de dérive. Par ailleurs, tous les éléments réseau de dérive peuvent être conservés, la puissance radio s'en trouvant améliorée.

Abstract: A wide slit nozzle (1) having a slit as a discharge opening (2) for a coating
material is provided. The slit (2) has a first thickness at a lateral center part (3)
and a second thickness (α) at opposite lateral end parts. The second thickness (α) of
the lateral end part is set smaller than the first thickness (β) at the lateral center
part. The first thickness of the lateral center part is fixed. The second
thickness (α) of the lateral end part changes linearly from opposite lateral ends of
the lateral center part to the opposite lateral ends (2a) of the slit. For example,
the slit has dimensions: x=15mm, y=14mm, α=0.3mm and β =0.6mm.
Consequently, an entire length or an entire width of the slit 2 is 15+14×
2=43mm. However, the coating material is discharged from the slit (2) while
applied with pressure, so that the coating material is coated while expanded
wider than the width of the slit (2). The coating material is discharged at 7 liter
per minute, and a coating width of the first example is 100mm, for example.
A thickness increase of the overlapped part is +25% even when a width or an
overlapped margin z of the overlapped part is 10mm or 20mm.

Abstract: This invention provides a retractable writing instrument (100) that substantially prevents
writing fluid from evaporating through the tip (102) when the tip is in a retracted position to
eliminate the need for a cap. Within the writing instrument is an enclosure member (300,1200,1500) that has a
vapor chamber (306). In the retracted position, the tip of the writing instrument is within the vapor
chamber to substantially seal the tip from ambient air so that writing fluid does not evaporate
through the tip. The enclosure member has a lip (600,1206,1508) that opens to allow the tip to move forward
and extend from the writing instrument so that writing fluid can be delivered to the writing
surface for writing. When the tip is moved back into the retracted position the lip closes to
substantially seal the tip from the ambient air. An external compression force may be applied
to the lip to assist in sealing the lip. The enclosure member may be made of a material that is
durable so that the lip does not wear out after many cycles of moving the tip between the
retracted and protracted positions, such as silicone, butyl rubber, and thermoplastic
vulcanizate (TPV) material including butyl rubber cross-linked with polypropylene.

the rotor, the hinge mechanism and the cam plate. The hinge mechanism
includes first and second hinge elements that are respectively provided on the
rotor and on the cam plate and engage each other. At least one of the first and
second hinge elements has a degree of freedom for motion against the rotor
